Hi! I’m Kelly and welcome to our 2nd Chance Restoration page! We are a family owned business started by accident after I lost my corporate job due to layoffs. I needed to provide an income somehow, and even though I had been painting small furniture pieces since I was young, it never occurred to me to take a hobby and passion and turn it into something bigger. We started small with a desk here and there, and then bureaus, etc. Then we noticed a need for cabinets to be transformed (bathrooms AND kitchens), and banister updates, and whitewashing of fireplaces etc… We pride ourselves on seeing a need and being the ‘go to’ place for so many who are looking to do some refreshes to their homes.

Here we are more than 10 years later with hundreds of clients, a 98% referral rate, countless pieces that have been restyled and thousands of cabinet doors that have been transformed. We love working with our clients who are striving to keep their family heirlooms as showcase pieces and are excited to see what each year has in store for us. I hope you’ll join us on the journey and enjoy looking through our website for inspiration…

When you have the Monday-est Monday in awhile 😩.

These cabinets had 3 layers of paint on them. After sanding for 4 hours as part of my prep today, I accidentally nicked the edge of one of the frames and a sheet of paint fell off 🥹.

Silly me picked at it and all of a sudden, the entire kitchen turned into Pandora’s box as I needed to get to the bottom this mystery! 2 hours of hand picking and scraping later, this kitchen has been ‘peeled’ back to its original wood. This means that 3 coats ago, the original painter did not use primer and just through some paint on them. 🤦‍♀️

While I wasn’t thrilled about the extra hours, I’m happy for my clients that I won’t be the 4th coat of paint on these cabinets and they get to start from ‘new’.

Working with Kelly on our bathroom renovation was a pleasure. The work she did on our cabinets has made a few people question if they were “really our original cabinets?”

Yes, they look THAT good We really appreciated Kelly’s creativity and knowledge of color. We relied on her opinion for many of the choices we made along the way. In addition to all of this, Kelly assembled a team of highly professional craftsmen to help complete our renovation.

I need to give a huge shout out to 2nd Chance Restoration for giving my kitchen a second chance. Not only was Kelly a breeze to work with, but her work on my cabinets was second to none. They look brand new. She also gave us amazing suggestions in terms of who to work with on everything from the backsplash to the painter to finding the right screws for my cabinet pulls.

If you are thinking of giving your kitchen a facelift and want to change up your cabinets, contact Kelly—she’s booked pretty solid but get on her waiting list! You won’t regret it. Thanks Kelly! It’s perfect.
